Hi Kate,

 

There is no "general" default button for appearance, yet there are ways to set

the look you want.

Right click an empty area on the desktop.

In the popup menu click Properties.

Click the Appearance tab.

Click the dropdown listbox arrow for "Windows and buttons" and select either

Classic or XP style.

Click the dropdown listbox arrow for "Color scheme" and select either Windows

Standard or Classic.

Click Apply.

Click the Advanced button.

Click the dropdown listbox arrow for "Item".

Click on an item in the list that you want to change the configuration for.

If available, change the items size and or color(s).

If available, change the font, size and color.

When you're finished making any changes to any/all items, click Ok.

Click Apply > Ok.

 

**Note: Do not click Apply if you are not satisfied with the configuration,

if you do and you do not like the look you will have to go back and reconfigure

the settings.

 

Also, if you wish, clicking on different areas in the upper pane of the

advanced appearance window will select an item the same as if you use the

dropdown list.

There is no default but...

Right click an empty area on the desktop.

In the popup menu click Properties.

Click the Appearance tab.

Pick a theme. It will reset to some 'decent' settings. Maybe you can

use it as a starting point, then tweak a few of them? I always did

that when I was young and energetic. I just take what comes with the

initial load now. I used to change fonts, sizes, etc. all the time.

Just don't find it worth the time now. I'm more interested in

production or using the PC.

 

No implication intended.

Do you really want to trust someone that was banned from posting

directly to Microsoft Usenet servers, someone that has posted links to

pornographic materials on HIS WEBSITE, who's website is in the MVP HOST

Block list?

Chris, you've been posting my name in EVERY ONE OF YOUR POSTS ALL OVER

USENET, if you don't want to see me reply then stop posting my name in

your posts - it's that simple. Take my name out of your posts and I'll

stop replying to them. It's your choice, keep harassing me in every post

and I'll keep replying to defend my name.
